The objective of Republicans has always been trolling liberals, not achieving any helpful goals. The simpleton Ronald Reagan is a good example. He blathered on about how much he was in favor of smaller government. Well, guess what? The federal government was *larger* when he left office.

To anyone who does not live in Paris but visits the city at regular intervals (as I do), the transformation has been staggering: Paris has been reclaimed from cars. It can be done, and could be done in London too. It is all about political will and taking the risk of being unpopular - for a while.

I think it is interesting that even after enough time has passed for the tragedy of what has occurred to sink in, too many commentators still preface their hand-wringing essays with phrases like, "Even though Arday made claims that were obviously untrue...." Slander dies hard.

"The question is whether, given the science, the climate impacts unfolding around us, the opportunities emerging in the global economy and our own recent political history, it is the wisest use of $40-billion." #GiftLink 🎁 #CdnPoli www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/90e3098...
But where is the analysis comparing this investment against other opportunities? Where is the evidence that a $40-billion pipeline will generate greater long-term economic returns than investments in clean alternatives?

If it exists, we should have a robust public debate about it. If not, it should be studied and presented to Canadians. Canadians are being asked to assume this is the best available investment without seeing the alternatives seriously compared.
